Ortiz spent about three hours every weekday taking care of Mr. Destructo and working with him to perfect his posture for exhibition. She visited her hog each morning before school and fed him. After school, she’d go right back and check on him again. Ortiz is one of eight Burbank High students “He has a goofy personality,” Ortiz said. “He’s super smart. He likes to run and play. Yesterday, we were playing tag with him. … It was super funny. He tries to open the gate to his pen.”
